Thread: Doin' Nothin'

I feel thine pain, gute sir. In fact, I had the same problem, up until mom's divorce(she moved in with me afterward) now I have worse problems.
I recommend just turning off the phone, or telling them to stfu. both work, and you can always make up later.

Agh, Gren they're just checking on you. It's a typical parent thing to do. They want to keep tabs on you even after you've built up your own life.

I know, and I do appreciate the fact that they care enough to want to know if I'm happy and sufficiently entertained; that's always better than parents who don't give a crap what their children are up to. I suppose it's just that even where my family is concerned I'm generally a private person...information is only given on a need to know basis and anything I don't feel like discussing is withheld entirely. So any extended line of questioning starts to feel like an intrusion.

I think too, for some people it's hard to fathom the idea of just sitting and being alone with your thoughts for a length of time. They seem to be worried that I'm unhappily introverted, and I don't know if they'd understand that I genuinely like my time removed from the rest of the world and all its distractions.

Some people are just occasionally extroverted and sometimes they just need time alone by themselves locked from the world. Too bad for you, the term introverted is linked to all the bad stuff. Unfortunately, you can't really tell them you're fine without sounding like "please leave me alone"

Perhaps a few pictures of "their little angel" being wild to mommy and daddy could help. Jokes aside, the spare key thing is pretty weird.

Well i used to be stuck in the school dorm and doing nothing didn't apply or that i was busy with school work now that i can hit the beach os spend tmie with my son well doin nothin really depends i guess on one's definition. And Gren at some point in time i think our parents drove us crazy or near insanity at some point in our lives so i understand that part.

I believe that it is ok to be doing nothing .. i love the calm and the quietness.. it brings me at ease. People think i send to much time thinking actualy.... many people that have seen me thinking intensely think i am quite strange... i like to zone out into my toughts and relax... not worrying about what is going on around me..or what's hapening in the world...it is much funner to just be
